I used install.php with --pass to set a short temporary password. After installation I could not log in, maybe because it was too short and thus invalid.
[[mw:Manual:$wgMinimalPasswordLength]] is supposed to be 1.
I would like to work on this.Can you please assign this bug to me.
I cant find a line like that mentioned above in the file install.php
Does Changing as per the instructions in User.php file can fix this bug?
Vishnu Nk: It could be helpful if you mentioned if you have successfully reproduced the problem, and to describe how a fix would look like.
Sir as per mentioned above "$wgMinimalPasswordLength" was only found in the User.php file in the includes directory. and there is a case at line number 4688 where the it has been assigned to 0.Is that the problem mentioned?
(In reply to comment #6) > line number 4688 where the it has been assigned to It's line 4689 in git master: https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/mediawiki%2Fcore.git/HEAD/includes%2FUser.php#L4688 > 0.Is I read this as "0.Is" initially - please avoid [[Klempen]]. > Is that the problem mentioned? Not sure if I understand your question, but I guess you want to use "git log" (or "blame") to investigate why == 0 was set and investigate yourself if this has something to do with this problem and test yourself a bit. :)
It is set to 1 by default. This applied by default (so afaik it should be affecting the installer as well). includes/DefaultSettings.php 3949: $wgMinimalPasswordLength = 1; includes/specials/SpecialUserlogin.php 336: $wgMinimalPasswordLength, $wgEmailConfirmToEdit; 425: $valid = array( $valid, $wgMinimalPasswordLength ); includes/User.php 704: global $wgMinimalPasswordLength, ..; 718: if ( strlen( $password ) < $wgMinimalPasswordLength ) { 853: $length = max( 10, $wgMinimalPasswordLength ); ... It doesn't seem to be overridden or assigned anywhere else. What exactly is the problem? I can't find any reason why the $user->setPassword call in Installer.php would be any different from others. It triggers the same validation, same settings, and throws the same exception in case of a too short or otherwise invalid value.
